Description

Regular-priced reissue. Undoubtedly, this Roman Polanski masterpiece is the best noir-thriller of the 70's (if you don't count Taxi Driver which is a totally different film), and undoubtedly it's the only film in history in which the director cuts the leading actor's nose with a sharp knife. Of course that happens in the film and not in real life, but Polanski's own cameo appearance as the knife wielding thug ("Know what happens to nosy fellas?") and the image of Jack Nicholson later with a bandaged nose are only some of the many memorable things about the film. Polanski's direction is crisp and perfect, and so are the performances from Nicholson, Faye Dunaway (or Done-away, as it happens in the film) and John Huston, and the editing is tight, but the most important element could be the score by Jerry Goldsmith which gives just the right atmosphere on each scene. Oh... and I love that brilliant Chinese-American actor named James Hong (who plays Dunaway's butler here). He must have made ga-zillion movies in his long career!

Special Feature / Bonus Track: Theatrical trailer(s), interviews with director Roman Polanski, screenwriter Robert Towne & producer Robert Evans

Description in Japanese

チャイナタウン製作25周年記念版 [通常価格版] / 洋画

2002年10月25日に期間限定価格版として発売されたDVDの通常価格版。アカデミー賞オリジナル脚本賞をはじめ、数々の賞に輝いたハードボイルド・ミステリーの傑作。巨匠ロマン・ポランスキー監督の最高傑作ともいえる。監督が主演男優の鼻を切り裂いた映画史上唯一の作品(といっても映画の中での話ですが)でもって、ポランスキー自身が、そのナイフを持つ危ない男のキャメオで好演。彼の研ぎすまされたような演出、主演のジャック・ニコルスン、フェイ・ダナウェイや脇を固めるジョン・ヒューストン等、どこをとっても申し分ないが、さらに素晴らしいのが、アカデミー賞にもノミネートされたジェリー・ゴールドスミスの音楽。DVDの高音質で楽しんでもらいたい映画の一本!!
